Bengaluru Imposes Vehicle Restrictions on Five Flyovers to Improve Safety
Starting September 4 and 11, Bengaluru Traffic Police will impose new restrictions on two-wheelers, autorickshaws, and goods vehicles across five major flyovers and elevated corridors, including Electronics City and International Airport Road. These measures aim to enhance road safety, reduce accidents, and ease congestion caused by vehicle breakdowns and speed variations. Restrictions vary by vehicle type and timing and will initially be trial-based, with authorities planning to review their impact before making further decisions.
